Three more of our U17s win county selection

The names of the Hertfordshire's backs have now been announced and two more of our girls have been selected.

• Rosie Randfield
• Natalie Threlfall

... and there may be more yet as there is still room for other names to be added from those who couldn't make trials.

But congratulations to Rosie and Natalie. Rosie in particular played out of her socks last Sunday (see above!) and deserves recognition for the effort she put in, while Natalie (racing away to score in typical style, below) is one of only five girls from last season county U14s to make this season's county U17s.

As two of those are from Letchworth perhaps congratulations should also go to Rachel for the quality of her training last season. In fact - on a related theme - 75% of Rachel's county U14s came back for more this season, compared with only 59% of last year's county U17s. Draw whatever conclusions you see fit...

It also means that we have gone from having two girls in the U17 squad last season to five this time round!

And the third county cap? Sasha Acheson - who we hear may well be the captain of the newly-formed Eastern Counties U17s.
